posted Saturday, November 18, 2017 7:20:43 PMApple Inc.’s head of diversity and inclusion is leaving the technology company after a few months in the role.

Denise Young Smith will depart at the end of 2017 and will be succeeded by Christie Smith, a veteran of accounting firm Deloitte LLP, an Apple spokesman said. Young Smith was named to the diversity role in May. Before that, the 20-year Apple veteran oversaw human resources at the iPhone maker, which included diversity efforts.

Young Smith, who is black, apologized to her team in October after she was reported by TechCrunch and other news organizations to have told a conference that a group of “white blue-eyed blond men” could also be considered diverse based on their different life experience and perspective.

So diversity means no whites in 2017 i guess. If you are not berating white people you are fired.

posted Saturday, November 18, 2017 7:30:27 PM"Young Smith had been talking with Apple CEO Tim Cook about the next phase of her career and life since about a year ago, according to a source. Over the last few months, Apple has been searching for a successor to replace Young Smith. It’s not quite clear, however, when exactly Young Smith decided she would leave Apple. But based on that timeline, it seems as though Young Smith made up her mind before those comments in Bogotá, Colombia for which she later apologized."

its that passive-aggressive upper class type of racism too which is the worst......

" The Stranger's David Lewis snuck into the Northwest Forum, a s00per s33kr1t Nazi gathering in Seattle, and attended the speeches, including the keynote by reclusive white supremacist leader Dr Greg Johnson.

All in all, the Forum was a pretty dull affair, but Johnson did take the opportunity to describe his strategy for "secret agent" white nationalists to infiltrate the tech sector by paying "lip service to diversity," moving up the corporate ladder, and hire other mediocre white men who believe in racial superiority to fill the companies' vacancies."

Either there’s more to it i.e she said more defamatory things... or she was forced out of apple by sharks who knew if they published anything race-related and spun it any way watsoever, theyd be okay from a legal position.

posted Sunday, November 19, 2017 2:01:51 PMits all very weird and post tribal.

i feel like as a species we're treating current status as a sinking ship, but i think we just need course adjustment/context.

people trying to take control of a natural evolution. whether its gender or racial alignment. forcing things down each others throats cause "the time is right now" is only making motherfuckers wanna fight.

weve made a lot of progress naturally towards equality in gender, ethnicity, whatever.

it reminds me of the big cock metaphor i use in meetings.

if you're trying to fuck someone with a big cock, you gotta ease in, over time, let things progress naturally, you dont want to break things, and have to wait to start over. If you can wait and be patient with whats happening, before you know it, youll be long stroking to the nuts.

I feel all this comes under some give an inch/take a mile bullshit. Attitudes change over time. More so as the older generations die off. But these SJW fuckheads think everything should be perfect immediately and if you dont comply you are guilty as fuck. Imo this does nothing to help things progress, probably does quite the opposite.

posted Tuesday, November 21, 2017 4:37:51 AMSo you think these kinds of stories are not in the news all the time recently? You don't see outrage at the most pathetic things people say, or how one sided it is?Let me give you a British example. L'Oreal fired Munroe Bergdorf, a mixed race transgender model, for making racist statements such as accusing all white people of racial violence and calling the white race "the most violent and oppressive force of nature on Earth". Then because social media now rules what narrative the press will push because they fear being labeled at racist, anti-feminist, homophobic... the BBC (which is paid for entirely by the British public, not advertising) gave her a spot on tv to continue spewing the same garbage. They have never gave a spot to somebody white to spew that sort of shit in the opposite direction.

News is full of accusations about how our countries are such terrible places full of hate and prejudice but it is proven bullshit. We are fortunate enough to be some of the most forward thinking countries in the world.

Where is the outrage about India being so racist? Incidentally India still has well over 18 million people in slavery.

Yet here we are reading about somebody having to apologise for making a perfectly reasonable comment on diversity because Apple is also pandering to the social media outrage mob. Yet for years Apple batteries have used cobalt that is mined by 8 year old children in the DR Congo. The phone frames are made in China where there are still 3.5 million slaves. Not only do we rarely ever hear about that shit these twats babbling on about privilege are doing so on their phones that were brought to them by slavery and child labour.

If you think we are living in a society where its worth screaming about racism and prejudice you are painfully blind to the world around you and just how privileged we ALL are to be here.

posted Tuesday, November 21, 2017 9:49:12 PMThat's your fucking example?! There are different orders to racism. Until the racism against white men reaches the structural level, STFU! Real racism cannot be turned off or ignored. For example, black men are sentenced to more time for committing the exact same crime as a white person (Source:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/11/16/black-men-sentenced-to-more-time-for-committing-the-exact-same-crime-as-a-white-person-study-finds/?utm_term=.ac6f4e8eb558). Do you see the difference there? There are a ton of these examples (e.g. cops more likely to pull over black drivers, jobs not calling back equally qualified applicants with black names, Flint water, loans, cops more violent with blacks, allocation money in public schools, cointelpro, etc.) That's structural racism. And your complaining because an outspoken transgender person has a TV show that you don't have to watch? This shit is fucking life 101. For you to be that ignorant is crazy.

posted Tuesday, November 21, 2017 10:06:40 PMAlso, crying because you don't think Third World countries get the same condemnation as Western countries for their atrocities is asinine.

posted Wednesday, November 22, 2017 7:50:35 AMYou seem to think i am saying racism doesn't exist, or i am saying it isn't a problem. Don't be silly, of course that's not it.My issue is how people go about tackling racism and other prejudice problems.Morgan Freeman did an interview for 60 Minutes a long time ago where he explained why he doesn't want a black history month. He was asked "what can we do to stop racism?", Morgan replied "stop talking about it".What did Munroe Bergdorf achieve after being given a public platform to speak on? Karim is trolling but he tries to do the same thing. They create divisions between races by overreacting to racism and blaming an entire race, essentially making racism worse. It needs to be a subject people are aware of but directing blame and hate at all white people is not the way to do it. That kind of attitude is exactly what white supremacy groups have. Education on racism and prejudice needs to be done tactfully. Not with some assholes screaming at protests and on Twitter only to be backed up by the pandering media that is happy to whip up even more drama and division to sell a story.

posted Saturday, November 25, 2017 1:44:44 AMI seen India on the top of another list one time for most racist countries, it's true. I have a friend from over there & he said the "whiter" you are the more you're respected. Pretty horrible way to live.
